Hands #49-53: Fashakin Over 460 Million

Level 45 : 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante

Hand 49#: Walter Atwood raised to 18,000,000 from the cutoff and no one called.

Hand 50#: Rafi Elharar bet 17,000,000 from the cutoff and Femi Fashakin made the call from the small blind, as well as Paul Cullen in the big blind. The flop came {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and was checked. The turn was the {j-Spades} and Fashakin bet 15,000,000. Only Elharar made the call.

On the river of {a-Spades}, Fashakin fired 70,000,000. Elharar tanked for some time and eventually folded his hand.

Hand 51#: Atwood opened to 17,000,000 and it was enough to win the pot.

Hand 52#: Paul Cullen raised on the button to 17,000,000 and Adrian Curry called in the small blind. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and was checked by both players, with the turn {j-Clubs} bringing no betting action either. The river was the {q-Hearts} and after two more checks, Curry got the pot. Unfortunately, the hole cards weren't shown.

Hand 53#: Atwood got a walk.

Hand #44: Daniel Ghobrial shoved from under the gun for 101,000,000 and was called by Femi Fashakin on the button.

Daniel Ghobrial: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Femi Fashakin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The rail all sighed and giggled as they saw the hole cards. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for both players to split the pot.

Hand #45: Fashakin raised to 16,000,000 from the cutoff and was called by Adrian Curry in the small blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Curry bet 20,000,000 and Fashakin opted to fold.

Hand #46: Fashakin raised to 16,000,000, Curry called on the button, and so did Ghobrial and Walter Atwood in the blinds. The flop came {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Ghobrial and Atwood quickly checked, Fashakin bet 35,000,000 and the rest all folded.

Hand #47: Curry raised to 17,000,000 from the cutoff and got no action.

Hand #48: Fashakin raised to 16,000,000 from under the gun and Curry decided to three-bet to 37,000,000. Action folded back to Fashakin who looked at Curry and his stack before four-betting to put Curry all-in who snap-folded.
